LADY WILLINGDON'S WAR WORK
(From "The Post's" Representative.) LONDON, July 12. As vice-chairman of the fourteen days' Red Cross sale in London of valuable gifts of jewellery, gold, and silver the Marchioness of Willingdon has had, and is having, a very strenuous time. "I have simply slaved for weeks trying to get these things into some kind of order," she said, "but quite a number of them could not be put into the catalogue because they came so late. The answer to the appeal for old gold has been amazing, and every day gold is simply pouring in for melting down purposes." Some 3000 treasures given by the Royal Family and the public are being sold each day, and big sums are being I realised. Lady Willingdon visited New Zealand with her husband early this year for the Centennial celebration*
